Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Wonderful composition with these 'Queen of the Flowers', Sandi. Love the deep red tones. Hard to handle, but you've perfectly managed them. Compliments for you, my friend.

Beauty of a shot, Tigs. However, there is a spot just below the top rose. I naturally assumed it was some sort of filth on my monitor. I got out the Windex, and that didn't do anything. I then got out the Comet cleanser which didn't get rid of it either. Please send me $400 for a new monitor.
I love the post photo work. It reminds me of the silky effect that Kathy gets. Are you two sharing secrets?
A lovely capture of this beautiful scene, Sandi. Wonderful colours, details and a nice DoF in the photo. I would have centered the flowers in the frame and apply a slight reduction to the shadows along with a slight increase in the highlights for a more vibrant look to the image.
